So now my screen looks like this:

Suddenly the "two-pane" layout in G+ seems small.

@mateo_salta You know what the next update will bring? An editor instead of a viewer.

I've already finished it and just need to work on another feature before it will show up on everyone's device.

Wow. Notepad++ actually stops working properly at 1920x1080.

Nathan Osman

5:44 AM

@mateo_salta Actually, I think I will just go ahead and release the feature.

Consequently, do not be alarmed when you see a new permission showing up.

Q: Point USB phone to specific /dev/ttyACM using udev

We have a Nagios + check_mk setup on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server with smstools for sending text message notifications. We are using an old Nokia 6230 phone connected by a USB cable, though I do not remember the vendor symbol of the cable. Occasionally the device becomes unresponsive - apparently the ...

@JorgeCastro nah, compared to Stack Exchange.

@AryoAdhi Yup

Aryo Adhi

@Oli Frequently played games?

Oli

@AryoAdhi Currently Hotline Miami most of all but I'm also playing through the Half Life series (just starting HL2:EP2)... And also a bit of Portal... And I'm trying to find time for The Cave and Stacking. And I've just got a load more games from the latest bundle.

But Hotline Miami seems to be my favourite pick-up-and play for the moment. Already completed it twice now, it's just about having fun.

I just started EP1

which one has the ant lion nest, EP1 or 2?

I remember not liking that

@RPiAwesomeness looks like one friend left, the other lost his arm and the last one is waving it around.

that and it would fall under "Incorrect use" in the brand guidelines design.ubuntu.com/brand/ubuntu-logo

and there is already a ? mark pictogram design.ubuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/…

Lucio

@NathanOsman Do you know how can I share an Android app through cloud avoiding the Android Market?

I will try with CloudAppStudio. If someone knows something better tell me

Oh no, CloudAppSutdio sucks. It is tedious to upload an already created app. You have to create a new one.

And I cannot change the code of the layout.

@RPiAwesomeness oh, yeah. was trying to be funny, looks like a great start for a concept on the design.

@RPiAwesomeness what if you had one friend move his arm out of the circle, so three complete friends, and a totally reworked structure of lines - so not just a manipulation of the original logo type: here is a quick sketch of something

@mateo_salta That one has interesting implications as to "pulling more people in" with the extension to the outside.
